How fast is your internet?!

Amazing what changing a little wire can do. This used to only be 10mbit down.

On Virgin 100mb, been messed up for a few days now at least. Only got around 15mb down/1.7mb up when I tested yesterday

Edit:
Rebooted my superhub and tested again:

No doubt it'll slow down again in an hour or so...

Can't you schedule a reboot to keep it tip top?

Judging by other people's results it could be a lot worse.

gooooooood enough.

Sky 40mb FTTC, never missed a beat. Fantastic connection at all times and zero downtime. Tempted to upgrade to 80mb but don't quite download enough to justify it.

Rebooting it doesn't always seem to help, at one point my connection was messing up so badly that it was slower than dial-up for 55 minutes of every hour. Every time I managed to get through to Virgin on the phone they'd run their tests which would show things as fine because of the timing. Then they'd say call back in 20 minutes. Call back 20 minutes later, end up on hold, by the time they did the tests again the connection was fine again. Eventually managed to get someone to stay on the line and repeat the tests every 5 minutes, they finally saw the problem and arranged a technician to fix it (they also knocked 2 weeks off my next bill).

Anyway, not noticed the speed issue again since my last post, current result:

I really wish Virgin had better upload speeds

It's a good day today.. Twice as fast as land line :-)

You should receive the 120/12 upgrade by the end of the year.

Nope, router used to be plugged in through a dodgy internal extension. Moved it onto a 10m Tandy cable and filtered faceplate.

It's even got faster

Have had very solid speeds recently.

It costs me £ 15.74 a month and its unlimited, also no need for a landline subscription on top as it doesn't use a telephone line rather my ISPs own cabling.

I live in Jersey, Channel Isles so please don't message me how to get it.

I'm from London but using a VPN. Connection could do with being a bit faster but its so much better than my old dual ADSL connection. Connection is 80/40
